That SUCKS!

...but you mean to tell me that if a poor man Joe's motor in his '82 breaks down and a friend says, hey, I got one from a '74 that'll fit in your car, I'll sell you it for $50, the state of Penn. says "No, sorry, you gotta buy a new motor for your car or put on the smog crap for the '82 on the '74 (which obviously won't bolt up)? So this law now effectively makes it illegal to put an older motor (that has outdated, or no smog stuff) in a newer car? That doesn't make sense, there has gotta be some way around that (but then again, I've never had to go through the smog laws stuff just yet, so I don't know what excuses those bureaucrats use when they make the laws....
